As we all know great art and craft is not limited to Art Galleries nowadays (nor was it ever). A great place to find creatives under your nose on Nantucket is
Tumblr.
Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, video, links, quotes, and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. Users are able to “follow” other users and see their posts together on their dashboard. Users can “like” or “reblog” posts from other blogs on the site. Another great resource for finding photos, paintings and sketches of Nantucket is
Flickr.

Even if these rules do exist JUST to be broken, it’s worth brushing up on some of them every now and again.
Art Market Blog this month features a great list of sites where artists can get noticed, promote themselves, submit to galleries and find news and reviews from the latest exhibitions. Take a look and tap into the new talent listed if you are a fan of Art too!!
